STEAK #SoulFoodSaturday

My regular diet consists of chicken, vegetables, fruits, sometimes fish, carbs and more chicken. Although I am usually happy with this set up, there are times when all I want is a big juicy steak. I always find myself disappointed at Steak Houses because unlike a lot of people, I don't like my steaks grilled. I prefer mine broiled in the oven or even fried in a very hot pan. I enjoy loads of butter when my steak is served. Oh yes, I go all out. I wish I could eat like this once a week, but realistically speaking, once a month is more like it. Here's what I do when I want a date with a gorgeous hunk of meat.

Make sure your steak is dry by patting both sides with paper towels. Otherwise, you won't get a nice crisp on the outside.

Rub mustard on both sides and add salt and pepper

Heat up your pan (Highest heat and make sure pan is super hot)

Add a nob of butter and a drop of olive oil so it does not burn.

When it is sizzling, put your steak in the pan and cook for about 2-2.5 minutes on each side. After the first side is done, add your garlic and sage and some Worcestershire sauce. Add second nob of butter if needed

Flip over again and add more Worcestershire sauce and remove from heat.

Allow to rest before eating. If it's a big piece of steak, slice into strips and serve.
